From 7cc5bf9a3a84e5a02e23e5739fb894790b37c101 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 11:58:21 -0700 Subject: dmaengine: track the number of clients using a channel Haavard's dma-slave interface would like to test for exclusive access to a channel. The standard channel refcounting is not sufficient in that it tracks more than just client references, it is also inaccurate as reference counts are percpu until the channel is removed. This change also enables a future fix to deallocate resources when a client declines to use a capable channel.
